At 21 she discovered she was an intersex. Sharon does
not have ovaries or a uterus and will not be able to have children as a
result.

In an interview with Sowetan, Sharon who was among the
top 16 finalists at Miss SA beauty pageant in 2016, said she was
'shattered' after she learned about the situation.

'I just wanted
to go home and cry. Sometimes I am okay and then on some days I look at
other women who have children and I know I will never have that, but I
have learned to accept that this is the situation and I can't really
change that.'

Intersex is a general term used for a variety of
conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual
anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or
male.
